Basic Patching Requirements

valoeghese commented 4 years ago

What we need for the basic patcher

Make sure to use java 8!
[x] A basic Swing GUI with a button to convert mods in an input folder and spit them into an output folder
[ ] Remap mod files (including mixin annotations!) from intermediary to SRG using asm
[ ] Convert fabric.mod.json into a mods.toml
[ ] Reference mixins.json wherever forge does it (jar manifest, MixinConfigs)
[ ] Convert fabric loader calls to FML calls.
[ ] Split ModInitialiser into Registry Events and Common Setup. (the easier alternative, unlocking registries, is not recommended). This could be done by running all code in the mod constructor, and redirecting registry calls to a delayed system that waits for the event.
[ ] Converting Access Wideners to access transformers

The ModInitialiser approach could work, since running before registry shouldn't be a problem for fabric mods, since they use RegistryEntryAddedCallback from fabric api to listen for subsequent registrations.

We can test it on my Irish Wolves mod when done, since it only has a single System.out.println on init and a single mixin to a method that gets a value.

This project hasn't been worked on for years, sorry. You'll need to find another solution
